وَاخفِض جَناحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ

And be lenient with those who followed you amongst the believers.

فَإِن عَصَوكَ فَقُل إِنّي بَريءٌ مِمّا تَعمَلونَ

If they disobey you, say, “I am innocent of what you do.”

وَتَوَكَّل عَلَى العَزيزِ الرَّحيمِ

And rely on the Almighty, the Most Merciful.

الَّذي يَراكَ حينَ تَقومُ

Who sees you when you stand.

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي السّاجِدينَ

And your movement among those who bow down.

هَل أُنَبِّئُكُم عَلىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ الشَّياطينُ

Should I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلىٰ كُلِّ أَفّاكٍ أَثيمٍ

They descend upon every sinful liar.

يُلقونَ السَّمعَ وَأَكثَرُهُم كاذِبونَ

They lend an ear, but most of them are liars.

وَالشُّعَراءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الغاوونَ

As for the poets, the deviators follow them.

أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّهُم في كُلِّ وادٍ يَهيمونَ

Don’t you see how they ramble in every style?
